Dental surgery?

I have two teeth that stick out like vampire fangs, I hate them they really get to me, what can I do about correcting them and is it expensive? Please help :-( I'm 20 years old and it's really affecting my confidence, they've always been this way but lately it's been getting to me more and more

Dental surgery?
First, you are NOT your teeth. There are guys out there who are gonna think, "hey, she's a vampire girl...that's kinda HOT!" :) Seriously, my wife thought my spaces were "kind of cute" back in the day. Sometimes our imperfections draw people to us.





If it bothers you to that extent, see an orthodontist. It probably won't be cheap though. An "average" course of treatment ranges from $2k - $5k depending on where you are and what else needs to be corrected.
Reply:Is it a orthodontic problem or are they just longer than you like? if they are longer than you like i wouldn't know what you could do, would you want to risk root canal treatments from postoperative complications from a procedure such as a crown. crowns are about $1000 ea but you have to remove so much healthy tooth structure and nothing in dentistry is long term fix
Reply:My sister has the same thing but she has one fang, not two. Last week, she just got her braces to fix that. What they will do is, give you braces, extract the baby tooth that the fang was suppose to replace. Then, since her fang is not directly above that baby tooth, the braces will help pull the next tooth over to replace that space of extracted baby tooth and the fang will be pulled down directly where it is now. And 20 is no big deal, my twin and I are 30 this year!!! Fix yours now, so you don't have to deal with it at 30!!! ;)





I'll be getting mine sometime soon, but will be requiring more work. At least u have fangs, mine never came out so they will have to EXPOSE my perm teeth meaning they will cut into my gums to pull them down. :(
